These are typical adrenal stress symptoms for me. I get a lot of muscle pain in my shoulder/neck area that causes a persistent headache. I also have muscle pains in my arms, legs, jaw, and sometimes other parts. The neck ache gets worse after something stressful, or later in the day, or from the morning if my sleep is not good.
I alleviate the aches by getting adrenal support. I already get lots of magnesium but it doesn't help these muscle pains. Last week I found out that licorice root, which I was hoping would help, actually made the neck pain worse. If it gets really bad, I take aspirin, take a hot shower, and go straight to bed, no matter what time it is. I have found that waking up after sleep without pain is the only immediate relief.
After a year of chelation by Cutler's protocol, the muscle pain has been getting better slightly in the last few weeks. I think this might be my first physiological sign of progress so far but I have my fingers crossed that there is no regression in the future.
On some rounds I do get head pressure, and I find that coenzyme q10 will alleviate it.
